Palatine Votes on Controversial Housing Project, Local Couple Needs Your Help

Monday:

The Palatine Village Council is set to vote Monday night on the Catherine Alice Gardens housing development proposed at 345 Eric Drive. Project proponents support the idea of providing housing for people with physical and mental disabilities. Those who oppose it say zoning should not be changed for the high-density residential project that would be located near industrial businesses in the immediate vicinity.

A new development at Northwest Highway and Smith Street also will be considered for approval by the village council on Monday.
